Confirmed from Riverside Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Riverside Park
“It was pleasent to walk my grandsons through the park and the access to the playground is Very clean, and friendly.”
“I wouldn't let your kids come here unattended, and the Porta potties were very questionable (i would not go in there) but the river is beautiful and the playground was fun.”
Park is very nice. Was very clean. Lot of wooden boats walk and grass. Great plane to bring the mud out to over of the playgrounds here. I didn't get too close af o didn't have any kids with me, but they did appear nice, and the kids that were playing seemed to be having lots of fun.
Came here and hiked part of the B2B trail in late October 2025. Easy to find parking. It was beautiful with the leaves turning colors. Saw a White-throated Sparrow and Northern Cardinal while on the trail. Path was paved with several benches and lookout points along the trail.
Today was a beautiful day. The high school students had a walk out today in honor of the latest school shooting. I was so very proud of them. Watching them today made me feel excited for the future of this country. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK STUDENTS. THE JOURNEY HAS JUST BEGUN 😋
